~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Greetings,



This is one of the jobs of the Society Chronicler that I truly enjoy.  This
year I have added the “Most Improved” category.  This award is judged from
seeing where the chronicler has started and with steady improvement to the
end of the year.  Again, the “Best Electronic Layout” has been merged with
“Best Layout and Design” category.  This year Drachenwald and Lochac sent
submission in and it was wonderful to see how the newsletters differ from
nation to nation and the differences in style from English speaking to other
languages.  I would like to thank all of the Kingdom Chroniclers for all of
the hard work that they put into the newsletters, developing new talent, and
administration of the job on the whole.  It is truly a thankless job, if you
are doing your job well, no one thinks about it and when it isn’t going
well, you are known by all.



I would like to say that this year’s “Best Articles” nominees were by far
the best I have seen.  We had serious scholarly work as well as helpful
information in how to play our game.  It was by far the hardest section to
judge.



Winners will receive a Blackfox token, a certificate, and the right to use
“Master William Blackfox Award Winner, *category,* AS XLIII” in their
newsletters with the Blackfox logo.   Commended entries will receive a
certificate as well.

The newsletter which best meets the needs of the local group or guild for
